Wheels, Wheels, Wheels

So, appearance pros. I am going to be purchasing rims here very soon. I am in love with the HRE 545's however they are out of my budget. I can spend around 2000-2250 for the rims only (no tires) but I want them to look something like the HRE's. Do you guys know anything? I have already scoured brent's. I want 18" and up, nothing smaller.

Thanks

hey whats up man, yeah i have the HRE 545's and yes they are very expensive. look up Chuckys95 on here. he is getting some wheels by i believe a place called iforged or something. actually i think they are Iforged Aero wheels. they make them all sizes. i believe chuck was getting the 19x9.5's on the fron and 20x10's on the rear. i have the same set up. i believe ge said he is only paying like half the price of the HRE's and i think the wheels look basically exactly alike. anyways hope that helps man, lata

www.iforged.com but you can get them cheaper from one of their distributors.
i ordered mine from ben at www.wheelsboutique.com
19x9.5 fronts and 20x10 rears, i ordered mine when wheels boutique was running a limited time price on them which was $2900.00 shipped to my door with lugs, centercaps, valve stems and fully polished!
i should have them in about another week!
if you call ben at wheels boutique tell him chuck sent ya!

this is the style i am going with only fully polished!

Go to
got20s

check out the "Bonspeed" line of wheels.
There's a few good looking wheels there. They are available in offsets to for these cars and no charge for a custom order. No 19s though... goes from 18s to 20s.

I thought so, but you don't have that obnoxious spoiler (no offense meant to those with it, looks good on a lot of styled cars). Did you buy the complete kit and just not put the spoiler on, or do places sell just the 4 underbody pieces?

that spoiler does not come with the ground effects kit, it is separate.

Hell yeah!! Those Bonspeed wheels are some of the few 20s that aren't "bling bling ghetto" looking, and they look great. That site didn't list the prices, though
